信条Tenet Movie Script

KAT:

I can’t get over the birds... The Protagonist follows her look to a bird flying backwards.

PROTAGONIST:

How are you feeling?

She lifts her shirt to reveal a LARGE, JAGGED, ANGRY SCAR.
她撩起衬衫，露出一个大而愤怒的疤痕。

KAT:

Tell me you’re going to kill him.

I can’t.

PROTAGONIST:

Neil enters without interrupting. Kat rises. Steady.

KAT:

Why not? I think you’ve probably killed a lot of people –

NEIL:

Not with a dead man’s switch.

A what?

KAT:

PROTAGONIST:

That fitness tracker he wears...

KAT:

He’s obsessive about his health.

NEIL:

It’ll be linked to a switch.

Probably a simple email burst, revealing the location of the dead drop, set to fire if his heart stops.

PROTAGONIST:

In effect, his death activates the algorithm. He dies, the world ends – no one dares kill him.

Kat realizes...

KAT:

No, you’ve missed the point. He’s intending to end his life.

Why?

PROTAGONIST:

KAT:

He’s dying. Inoperable pancreatic cancer.

PROTAGONIST:

And he’s taking the world with him.

KAT:

If he can’t have her, no one can.

What?

PROTAGONIST:

KAT:

Something he said, once. He has a child, for God’s sake.
